After waiting 5 months for my RZ4 to be built and 4 months working on these graphics from RE:BOAT it's finally done!! RE:BOAT completely over delivered on these graphics. The owner, Matt, was extremely creative and helpful. I have 65 pics of the wrap and the rest of my boat so if no one cares I may post a couple sets of pics. I tried to match the rims (24's) on my Denali to the trailer (20's), I think it looks pretty close. I told my Tige dealer it was cool if he sold the rear decal we came up with to other Tige owners. If you want one, contact Bill at Wakeboard and Waterski Specialty(WWS). Or contact Matt at RE:BOAT, he can make anything for you.

I can't say enough good things about RE:BOAT. The guy flew to Denver from Detroit just to install my graphics, plus he located and installed my black trailer rims on the spot. RE:BOAT is sick, and as always Wakeboard and Waterski Specialty exceeded my customer service expectations. I only buy Tige's because of WWS's customer service. No other dealer would try so hard to accommodate our ridiculous requests. Thanks for putting up with us!!!! www.waterskispecialty.comwww.reboatwraps.com

Thanks for the responses, were very excited and happy with how it turned out. A full wrap like this is around $4,000 to $5,000. It depends on how much time you spend going back and forth during the design phase. The faster you complete the design the cheaper the wrap.

I don't know what window vision is? We just used a 5% tint on the glass. We can see through it really well during the day.

Sangeria, I think BMW's chief designer, Chris Bangle, said it best, "Sometimes to move forward you have to leave others behind." Not everyone needs to like my graphics, but boat manufacturers should offer more aggressive designs. I would bet there's a combination of cool graphics that would look great on your Sanger.

Thats sweet! I would like to gat a wrap on my truck... boat... camper... house.... everything... but not the 911... ah hell... the 911 too... but it is just too expensive for me to invest in vinyl wrap! But it looks great!

kdawg...I will grant you that polarization is extremely powerful. I guess I'm just old school...I still love the old block text on my Sanger vs. the newer fancier stuff. Back in my day we didn't have any of this fibbledy-fabbbledy auto ballast and fancy-dancy graphics...and we liked it!

David, I'm guessing the Window Vision is just like the wraps that they put on buses that covers the windows as well? The times I've been on a bus with this, you really couldn't even tell that anything was on the window when looking out from the inside. I'd be curious if there's a different effect when you're on the water.

David, That window vision tint is a pretty sweet idea. Somehow that idea never crossed my mind, I've seen that on buses. Maybe I'll do it on my next boat. My wife is looking over my shoulder wondering why we have to wait for our next boat. I think you may have just cost me some money!

Window vision would be really annoying to look through, not to mention dangerous. Maybe on a go-fast boat where you look over the windshield.... I would steer my customers away from it. We use it alot on our vehicle wraps it just works better when viewed from a distance of 4' or more. Try sitting in a bus with a wrap and you'll see what I mean. You would have to keep moving your head to see through it, kind of like an old window screen.

As for durability, we have had our wraps on some fishing boats for 3+ years. It all really depends on the driver. Nasty old docks will tear it up, of course these same docks would trash a gelcoat too. As for peeling problems you just have to know the right material. Some less experienced shops will use a vinyl that has air-release technology. That material works great for cars and trucks but does not work well for a marine application as it it will allow water to be wicked up. The laminate we use has a UV inhibitor to resist fading. So all in all, our wraps endure very well, just beware of inexperienced shops.

David, we could have a wrap installed for you on site in a matter of weeks. Like kdawg said it really depends on the art and how long we spend in proofs. You can email me at Matt@Re-Boat.com

Speaking of kdawg, they were a pleasure to deal with on this project. Is was really exciting to see it come together and see such attention to detail in all areas of the build. I can't wait to work with them on there RZ6 build ;)

Actually I'm really interested in wraps in general - I kick around the idea of wrapping my Correct Craft in very light blue camouflage in the next few years so I always look at these custom jobs very closely. But I just have to ask - is this a dealer demo - or a promo of some sort for Tige, or even for RE: BOAT (due to the huge lettering on the side that says RE:BOAT) - or was it just something you decided to do because you had the cash & interest to do it?

And my follow on to that question is - what is the theme supposed to be? If so much attention was paid to the design - what was the intent? The transom makes sense - rapper necklace. Got it. I can see the appeal to some degree with that part. Not my thing, but that doesn't matter.

But what about the rest of the boat? I see hot pink "Tige" and a lime green argyle segment, and a stylized, eyeless, fish skull up front (I think). There is just a lot going on here. I am wondering if you could provide more details about it. Maybe I am looking into it too much but thats what I do.

Hats off for doing something different - but it would be awesome if you could explain it a bit. Again particularly because you said you spent so much time & money on this design.

I'm not trying to grill you or be negative or anything - but lets face it - this is pretty "out there". Which is fine and dandy - but I am a designer myself and I can't help but to look at things like this and ask questions.

As for the theme, I will leave that up to the owner. It really came about from alot of their personal time being devoted to incorporating all of the design elements they liked. I think this would fit very well in the racks:

As for our ReBoat logo being incorporated. We are lucky enough to be apart of this project and will be using this as our demo boat in several of the larger national boat shows. Just wait until you see what we have in store for her next!

Erik, I don't even know which question to answer first. And I'm not sure you were sotally tober when you wrote it, it was a little deep. The short answer to all of your questions is, why not. I had some money burning a whole in my pocket and it seemed like a great way to blow it. You get graphics like ours, when you give two people with horrible ADD, unlimited time to develop a wrap with little financial constraints.

All in all, the design actually has a lot of continuity within the theme. Much of what you see is derived from a lot of the same influences. Take notice of the advertising colors and fonts you see within the X-game demographic. Most of the gear available for wakeboarding is designed by the riders them selves, and many of the boards out there have the same design elements. It will probably look a little brady bunch in a couple years, but we'll be well past this boat.

I think you miss read my tone, I'm totally cool with some people liking it an others hating it. I was just trying to answer you questions the best way I could. I guess it did kind of sound defensive, that was not my intention.
